Debussy, Cello Sonata in D Minor (Henle)
A cornerstone of modern cello literature, Claude Debussy’s Cello Sonata in D Minor compresses an extraordinary range of colour, character and expression into three concise movements. Composed rapidly in 1915 during Debussy’s stay in Pourville, it was the first of six planned sonatas for different instrumental combinations, of which only three were completed. The sequence Prologue – Sérénade – Finale challenges the cellist with abrupt mood changes, delicate articulation, pizzicato effects, and an unusually broad tonal palette. This authoritative G. Henle Verlag Urtext edition is edited by Ernst-Günter Heinemann, with cello fingering and bowing by Reiner Ginzel, piano fingering by Klaus Schilde, and a preface by Debussy scholar François Lesure.
